Ephesians 5:1-4 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Therefore, imitate God like dearly loved children.

2. Live your life with love, following the example of Christ, who loved us and gave himself for us. He was a sacrificial offering that smelled sweet to God.

3. Sexual immorality, and any kind of impurity or greed, shouldn’t even be mentioned among you, which is right for holy persons.

4. Obscene language, silly talk, or vulgar jokes aren’t acceptable for believers. Instead, there should be thanksgiving.
